Chapter 309: Chapter 124 Duke Mansion (1) Xiang Qin Returns Home_2

If it really doesn’t work out, she still needs to leave herself an escape route.

"Alright." Gu Xingchuan concealed all his emotions, making a promise.

"Then I’ll leave first." Ye Qichi left.

The departing footsteps suddenly turn back.

She thought of something she wanted to tell Gu Xingchuan.

But at the moment she turned around abruptly, she saw the distress hidden in the depths of Gu Xingchuan’s eyes.

Only after she turned away did he reveal his true feelings.

Yet upon seeing her turn around, he managed a slight smile once again.

So gentle, so warm.

Ye Qichi still felt some stirring in her heart.

It seems like.

She really was liked by Gu Xingchuan.

She said, "I want to ask you, do you want to say goodbye to Xiang Qin? She will leave tomorrow, and if nothing unexpected happens, they might not be able to meet again in the future."

Gu Xingchuan smiled.

Clearly distraught, yet always presenting his best self to her, "No, partings are always sad, I don’t want to be too emotional. Please, convey a message to Xiang Qin for me, tell her to take care of herself, and if she finds it hard to adjust upon returning, she can come to find me anytime. The doors of the Ancient Medical Hall will always be open for her."

Ye Qichi nodded.

At that moment, she thought.

How nice it would be if Gu Xingchuan liked Xiang Qin.

They clearly were a good match.

...

In the afternoon.

Ye Qichi received a reply from Duke Mansion, expressing immense gratitude for finding their legitimate daughter, Xie Ruotong. From the letter, one could feel the sender’s excitement; they had even already dispatched people from the Duke Mansion to Prince Chen’s Mansion and would escort them back to the Duke Mansion the next day.

The next morning.

Ye Qichi accompanied Xiang Qin as they set out on their journey.

The two sat in the carriage.

Though Xiang Qin was accustomed to not expressing herself, her nervousness was apparent at this moment.

After so many years away from home, now returning...

She didn’t know what it had turned into.

Were her family members all well?!

Are they, all there?

She had spent more than a decade at the Ten Extremes Sect, clinging to the sole belief that she still had a home, she still had family.

Now she was truly returning home.

Yet, she began to feel anxious.

Suddenly, she was unsure, about how to interact with her family.

Accustomed to solitude at the Ten Extremes Sect, doing everything alone, now returning home, would she be able to adjust?!

Anxiety, fear, mixed with anticipation.

Rendered Xiang Qin somewhat flustered.

"Are you worried about something?" Ye Qichi asked.

Xiang Qin regained her senses and slowly said, "I’m just nervous about meeting my family."

"Don’t be nervous, family is family. Even if you’re separated by decades, they’re still your family, and the love of a family doesn’t change over decades. That’s the power of blood ties," Ye Qichi consoled her.

"Yes." Xiang Qin nodded.

Just a word or two from Ye Qichi greatly eased her heart.

The journey from the Duke Mansion to the current Prince Chen’s Mansion was not far.

After traveling for half an hour, they reached the grand entrance of the Duke Mansion.

At the gate.

Many people were already waiting there.

From afar, one could see their anticipation, laced with noticeable tension.

Xiang Qin, having been reassured by Ye Qichi and feeling more at ease, became nervous again when they actually arrived.

Ye Qichi took the initiative and held her hand.

Xiang Qin’s fingers trembled slightly, surprised.

She hadn’t expected Ye Qichi to approach her proactively.

As an assassin, few would get close to her, and she would never initiate closeness with others, yet Ye Qichi’s approach at this moment really warmed her heart.

She was deeply moved.

Ye Qichi said, "Don’t be afraid, they are all family."

Xiang Qin bit her lip and nodded.

The carriage curtain was drawn open.

Ye Qichi and Xiang Qin were helped down from the carriage.

Once they descended, they saw many people standing at the gate, waiting for her.

Suddenly, her eyes rimmed with tears.

She’d always wanted to come back.

She’d always wanted to return home.

And now she was back.

And now she was seeing the relatives she hadn’t seen for so many years.

Tears uncontrollably fell, drop by drop.

Just can’t control herself, no matter how hard she tries.

She started crying.

The elderly lady at the front, also with tears brimming in her eyes.

Probably already cried before, now her eyes were swollen.

"Tong’er," called the old lady.

That call was truly laden with too many emotions.

"Grandmother," Xiang Qin choked up, calling her back.

"Come here to your grandmother," the old lady beckoned, already crying profusely.

Xiang Qin couldn’t hold back anymore.

Even if she maintained her composure.

Even if she told herself to stay calm and not lose control.
